Game development is on my plate.


Blog Code

I'm going to spend this summer beginning to develop a 2D PC game. I'm as serious as I can be on this, and it's going to be really fun!

As soon as the exams are over with, I'm going to work with C++, DirectDraw, DirectSound, 8-bit music, pixel graphics, plot writing, all sorts of different stuff. I'm excited, so can school be over already? D:

I wish everyone an awesome summer! :B

      Looking forward to this for sure, Andy ;)
      I think this'll be a great summer indeed.
      I might spend a lot of my time regaining my motivation in art, and being creative for my own enjoyment - something that I really miss.

      Roll on, summah!

                  Whatever you're making, toss the DirectX and use OpenGL and OpenAL instead and make it cross-platform :P

                  But in any case: have a lot of fun with it!

                          Boobs are like art. Not the kind of art where you stand around scratching your chin and nodding,
                          but rather the kind of art that you stick your face between and go; "Pbpbbbbbbt"

                            Ooooh lawds, 2D game design is fun! I've done some 2D animation, and it can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I'm still curious to see how that stuff would look once it's put into a game :b
